During the interview he indicated the tour dates were due to be announced without giving any specific date.

He is "waiting for management" to contact him with the details. The rest of the interview deals with some inner band trouble
but also indicates the current Journey line-up will be involved in the tour.

Def Leppard and Journey began their only previous tour in June 2006 to support the YEAH! album.

Phil is shown with Neal Schon in Little Rock, AK on 30th October 2006 when he guested with Journey on 'Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin;'.

The quote from the interview suggests the touring will start in either May or June.

This will likely include a co-headline run in the USA/Canada in the summer.

Journey's bassist Ross Valory first mentioned the possible tour back in June of this year.

What will the rest of 2018 hold for Journey? Schon wants to get back on the road. There are already strong indications that a co-headlining tour with Def Leppard will be announced.

"I'm ready," Schon says. "I'm just waiting to hear the word from management." The turmoil of this year coupled with his decision to play the North Bay Fire Relief show without any members of the current Journey might suggest that changes to the band are imminent. But Schon says the lineup won't change.
